Campbell Times student newspaper snags five awards at national competition

NASHVILLE--The Campbell Times won five awards in a national competition.

   Editor Trevor Normile of the student newspaper collected the awards during a recent Baptist Press Journalism Conference in Nashville.

   Normile, a senior, won an award for cartooning and one for newswriting; Andy Specht, an 2010 alumnus, won for opinion writing; senior Elizabeth White won an award for a news feature and senior Christopher Tolley received an award for a cartoon.

   The awards recognized the staff from 2009-2010 under the leadership of Specht, now a writer with one of the publications associated with the News & Observer, Raleigh. His front-page bylines can be seen in the N&O along with its suburban periodicals.

    Normile is leading the newspaper this year and recently he added a web page at: http://www.thecampbelltimes.com

I was the cartoonist for the Creek Pebbles. The newspaper’s name changed to the Campbell Times my senior year. They shouldn’t have ever changed the name.

I was kicked off the paper for drawing cartoons about President Norman Wiggins’ bid to run for governor.

There was a witch hunt led by now President Jerry Wiggins to fire faculty members who gave me the inside scoop on pressure being put on staff and faculty to contribute to Wiggin’s campaign.

Their are still members of the faculty who probably remember this event…around 1982.

Congratulations on your awards,

Jay Lamm
